This route is on excellent smooth pavement with little traffic, except during the rush hour. There are not many fountains nor places for eating on this stretch. The village of Flaach does offer 1 or 2 good restaurants as well a bicycle shop in the village.

A statue like this would be great for my garden. Can't be overlooked. 🥰

Here it stands, 6 m high and made of styrofoam, appropriately near the Napoleon Tower and Arenenberg Castle. Apparently our Napoleon was also offered for sale to Arenenberg, but they didn't want it, probably because it wasn't weatherproof. And this is Napoleon I, not Napoleon III, who grew up on Arenenberg, which may have played a role in the offer being rejected. In Helsighausen, however, Napoleon I stands wonderfully protected from the weather under a large canopy and delights walkers and hikers, whether I or III. 😁.
